Yes, however there are some that are not metric. For example the screws you remove from the wheel well to access your headlights are 7/32". Go figure. Another thing is that whatever component you are removing will have all of the bolts the same size, except for one that will be a different size. I suppose there is a reason for that .

First Post - looking to purchase my first Ford. Does anyone have any tips / suggestions for me when test driving a used 2015 F150.

Im heading to a dealership on Friday after work to take a look at a 2015 Ford F-150, SuperCrew, 5.0L. It is an XLT with FX4 package, 43,000kms (26k miles).

So let me have it - what are your suggestions on buying a used vehicle or what specific items should i look at when buying a 2015 Ford F150.

Thanks - looking forward to joining the community here.

that sounds nice enough for a first ford f150. i recommend a cpo for the extended warranty. f150's are a great truck, yet some ppl have issues from time to time. when reading through the forums remember most ppl come here to complain ect. i personally come here to pass the time while flying in p3d and fse, and to learn and look at others builds for ideals. welcome and good luck

Find a responsible vendor and patronize them instead.
I understand your reasoning. 1) Nobody else makes those rims. Sometimes you just want what you want. And 2) Maybe I'm just naive, but is there actually any post-sale support for rims? Other than an obvious defect where I would just return them to where I bought them anyway (which is a non-issue, since that would be a return policy of the seller, not the manufacturer), what exactly would they do for post-sale support?

Which front coilovers will give you the highest adjustable lift? I was thinking it may be icons. 3 inches? My truck will be a street queen and I rather not swap out my uca or any other suspension part.

Icon does have the 1-3 inch. If you aren't ever gonna off-road a 4inch BDS lift might be a good option too and probably cheaper.
